The Coalition Debuts New Unreal Engine 5 Tech Test with 100x More Graphic Detail

Xbox and Epic Games working together to build a future-proof foundation with Unreal. After unveiling one of the first examples of a next-generation experience for Xbox Series X|S with The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience, we’re excited to share a deeper look at our technical partnership with Epic Games.

The Coalition are masters at using Unreal Engine. I can only imagine what they will pull off using UE5. Can’t wait to see their next project!

[Obscure_Observer]

Simple Amazing!

I Can´t wait to see what The Coalition has been cooking up for Gears 6 and the new unannounced IP on UE5.

[CaptainHenry916]

I know Gears will be good but I'm more curious about their new IP as well because their first games they created on their own Relic Rescue, Gears Pop, and Microsoft Flight was below average at best

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

The armour design of the unnamed male character looks similar to a COG soldier. I assume Gears 6 [and other Unreal 5 titles] will be a visual treat.

[Orchard]

These will be the guys that push UE5 to its max. Excited to see their first UE5 title.

[porkChop]

Wow that looks incredible. Gears 5 on SX looks crazy good, and that was on UE4. I can't wait to see what The Coalition do with UE5.

[Jay767]

This look good graphics wise for Xbox game but just look ok graphics wise if it was a PlayStation game. The Coalition really needs to make a new ip I feel they do have the talent to make something new and great if given the chance.

[thesoftware730]

Lol, good one.

[CrimsonWing69]

Hopefully we start seeing next-gen games like this. So far the best looking game was the Matrix demo. The only thing so far that actually felt “next-gen” to me.

[thesoftware730]

If they can achieve that Fidelity, I'm sold graphically.

Gears and Hell blade 2 will be graphic powerhouses for sure.

[mkis007]

Its what I expected it should look like. It is a technical showcase ie no control no variables to judge various things like popin.

[Obscure_Observer]

"It is a technical showcase ie no control no variables to judge various things like popin."

The Coalition are masters of Unreal Engine and its team is made of former Epic developers and engineers that to this day, has close ties to that studio.

Try the Matrix Demo that was co-developed by The Coalition in partnership with Epic. It looks and play incredible! And from what I heard, that demo is incredible even on the Series S.

[Cockney]

The coalition didn't co develop the matrix demo, they helped with the xbox version only, I believe epic had it up and running on ps5 with no help at all just like the original ps5 ue5 demo

[darkrider]

Nope. The series s was terrible, at very low rez, the series x got also problems, on lack of detail, lack of shadows... And epic was forced to call coalition to help running the demo... For the ps5 epic didn't need help from Sony...

[Gunstar75]

@cockney according to the latest UE5 launch video The Coalition helped develop the whole thing.

[Cockney]

@gunstar75 that being the case why does it have issues the ps5 version doesn't have?

[Obscure_Observer]

@SuperStan83

"Masters" or not, tech demos aren't anything to go by when discussing a developers capabilities for a finished game."

It says a lot since The Coalition is a AAA developer invited by Epic to help and develop that demo while have the advantage to be one of the first studios to have full access to UE5 technology.

I´m 100% positive that The Coalition will be one (if not the one) of the studios that will better display what the new UE5 is capable of.

[Charlieboy333]

Looks like last gen's Death Stranding

[1Victor]

@Charlie
Get your agree for your sarcastic joke but next time don’t forget the /S
The tech demo looks really good but as all tech demos shouldn’t put too much into it remember the motor storm tech demo and the milo/Kate plus countless others over the years.
Don’t get it wrong tho we will see some of those advances here and there eventually

[Cockney]

@darkrider you say nope then agree with my comment?
Edit: my bad you were disagreeing with original comment

[EvertonFC]

Looks great

[spicelicka]

The Gears 5 campaign was underrated, and the Hivebusters expansion was one of the best co-op experiences I had. Simply epic. Can't wait to see what they do with UE5.

[derek]

Haven't we seen this before?

[moriarty1889]

Gears 6 will look mindblowing.

[InUrFoxHole]

When you're really good at doing something, then you do that thing.

[Xb1ps4]

Ssooooo..... can we get a game already?

[Aussiesummer]

Hmmm smell that? theres a whiff of killzone 2 in the air.

[TheDreamCorridor]

Gears of War is still a thing?
